Running Underground!

My registration is in for the TLC Groundhog Run in January! What makes this run so unique? It takes place in an underground mine that has been converted to commercial storage. What makes this so challenging to me? I have claustrophobia.

TLC Groundhog Run

After looking at pictures of the place and reading all I could about it I made the decision to go for it. I'm going to run the 10K this time because there is a finisher medal involved. I'm all about the bling! Several other ladies are signed up so it's looking like a group road trip is in order.

Since the race is inside the weather won't be a factor, but it will affect my training. The RA medication is supposed to knock my immune system to the ground so I can't afford to get sick. Plus I don't think my feet will take much more than one day of running a week. So I'll be swimming and riding the bike on the trainer as much as I can. I'll try to get in a long run once a week but it most likely will be on my treadmill. I LOVE doing long miles on that thing. (I wish there was a sarcasm font.)

If I can keep this up through the winter I should be in good shape next spring when the real training starts. I've been looking at the Tri schedule for next year and I can hardly wait!
